Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


2016 Xmas 5-days entries close Wed

A reminder that entries close this Wednesday (Dec 7) for the annual Xmas 5-Days carnival, whch this year returns to the Newcastle region.

The Newcastle club is committed to a massive event, with 5 days of Foot O and 3 days of MTBO. Details are on the carnival web page.

The carnival starts with a sprint at the Tighes Hill TAFE on the afternoon of Tuesday December 27, followed by four mornings of quality bush O in the Hunter region. The three MTBO events will be in the afternoons.  

And entries for the annual Big Foot Sprints close next Monday. This unique two-race sprint event will be held on Sat Dec 17 at Crimson Hill, formerly the home to UTS Kuring-gai, in Eton Road, Lindfield.

Entries are open via Eventor. And for the first time Big Foot will be offering a 1.5km one-off course for kids, families and anyone who wishes to do just the one short course.

We thank the Feet for their flexibility after permission was withdrawn for their initial venue of Rookwood Cemetery. Full details are here.
